Andrew,

thank you very much! yes, that makes it clearer....

But sth. especially hard to do when working with beta3 on win32 ... "man
pg_restore" only gives ... "command not found" :)))

May I suggest to alter the
pg_restore --help output from
-----------------------------------------
Usage:
  pg_restore [OPTION]... [FILE]

General options:
  -d, --dbname=NAME        output database name
  -f, --file=FILENAME      output file name
-----------------------------------------------
to:
----------------------------------------------
Usage:
  pg_restore [OPTION]... [FILE]

General options:
  -d, --dbname=NAME        output database name (restore into a psql
database)
  -f, --file=FILENAME      output file name (create a plain text sql file)
----------------------------------------------

These to comments in brackets of course take some bytes, but it's easier
than porting man to win32, and will save a lot of bytes within the
mailinglists when PostgreSQL spreads within the win32 world
